[PRCo] Re: Auctioned PCCs

[Harold Geissenheimer]

Greetings

My rides to yesteryear would be the Liberty Bell Limited from
Allentown to 69th street and the Fairmount Park open trolley.

I was fortunate to travel to all the Pennsylvania systems such as
Hershey, Allentown, Reading, Scranton, Laurel Line, Wilkes Barre.
Altoona, Johnstown, Pittsburgh (and Wheeling) , Lancaster,
Red Arrow and Philadelphia with Ray Miller when I was at NYU.
Ray and I went every where based on his home in North Philadelphia.

He later became a tanker captain for Atlantic Refining.  The Philadelphia
Chapter of the NRHS honors his memory with an annual slide night.

Thats my selection.
